About Brentwood

Burntwood, the original name of the town first appeared seven years after the murder of Thomas a Becket in 1170. Following a forest fire in 1177, houses began to emerge in a clearing, giving the town of Brentwood its original name. It was in the second half of the 12th century that a chapel was built in remembrance of St. Thomas of Canterbury. The Abbot of St. Osyth was granted permission to build the St. Thomas à Becket Chapel by the Vicar of South Weald. This was after William of Ockendon gave his lands of Brentwood, called Cocstede, to the Abbey of St. Osyth. The ruins of the chapel still stand in Brentwood High Street.

In 1227 a permission for a market was granted. It was from this point that the town began to grow alongside the market place. The town of Brentwood became an significant coaching stage. This was around the time when the London to Colchester road became an important turnpike. St.Thomas of Canterbury became the Parish Church for Brentwood. The present building dates back to 1883, and was designed by E.C. Lee, who also designed St Paul's church in Bentley. The original mediæval chapel in Brentwood was built in the 13th century (the ruins can still be seen in the High Street), and was used by Christians making their pilgrimage to Canterbury Cathedral where St Thomas à Becket (to whom this church is dedicated) is buried.
